CIRCULATION OF PARIS PAPERS.

Their Large PrOfits-Advertising Returns.
Newspaper Announcements.
The Paris newspapers make large profit
on Their clrculatlon-when they have any.
The Petit Journal sells for sou. but the
other dallies are rated at two and three
SOUS apiece, and, as mentioned, their COM
position and press work, and the small
Quantity of paper their editions require are
very cheap. They arc, however, under some
expenses Of which American newspaper
publishers have no knowledge. In Paris,
for example, every newspaper is distributed
by its own carriers. There is no general
distributing agency and no carrier under
takes to serve more than one paper. The
carriers, too, must bear the papers to the
vendors in the kiosks al this means delay
and outlay Tor the publishers.
Nor are the advertising returns to be
compared with those of American or Eng
lish journals. The theatres do not adver-
tise, the railway companies do not advertise,
and tho advertiser generally is a rather
shy bird, except when the newspaper is of
ancient foundation and wide repute. On the
other hand, there are daily journals in
which every line is made to pay, and to paw
handsomely. In one of the great dailies,
following an article by the chief editor. one
often happens upon paragraph announc-
ing, for instance, that an Brown the
rev novel, has reached its fiftieth edition.
The writer adds: This is not at all won
derful, when one takes into account the re-
markablc talent Of the author. NJ. Robin

Done In Ohio County by Mr.. VIM. n. Lamb
din for One Month.
Mr.. VIM. n. Lambdin has sent the fol-
lowing report of his work in Ohio county
to Rev. DR.. Cooke, President Of the Wheel
ing and Ohio County Bible Society: Work
for the inst month in Ohio county: No.
of families visited, 1863; No. of families at
tending church, 400; No. of families not
attending church, 43; No. of families des-
titute of the Bible, 81; No. of destitute
families supplied, %; No. of families
refusing to receive the Bible, 6;
The territory canvassed lies along the
Wheeling and Elm Grove motor line and
the 3. & D. railroad, fourteen miles TO the
State line, near West Alexander.
About one-third of the county has been
visited and less Bible restitution found in
Ohio county than in Wheeling. In the
city more than one-eighth OF the families
were without the Scriptures; whereas in
the county less than one family in ten
were destitute of the Word of God.
Mr.. Lambdin says: Really have never
canvassed a county that makes so good a
showing, and have so far found less des-
titution of the Scriptures than in any eOun-
ty in West Virginia.

WHEELING DEFEATED By AKRON YBsTER-
DAY IN A CLOSE GAME
Kalamazoo Has Narrow Escape al Slsabsnvills-
Mansfield Knocks Out Columbus and
Evansville Beats Sandusky.

Yesterdays game between the Akrons
and the home team, although close, was
not interesting from the fact that both
clubs fielded loosely, the batting on both
sides being very light, with the exception
of Speidel's clean hit to left centre TOR three
bases. The visitors obtained strong lead
in the first inning, scoring four times
through the bad throwing Of Mofett, and
timely hitting. The boys played fair
uphill game, considering their crippled
condition, and had they not been short of
the services of Nichol and West
lake, who were sorely missed, the
result would probably have been
different. Mallory pitched strong game
only five clean hits being made Off his de-
livery. Elliff did not support him as well
as usual, having no less than four passed
balls. Coulter, the new man, proved
source of vast amusement to the crowd,
and he seemed to enjoy his poor work,
too. He will not play to-day, Westlake
going to second. For the visitors, Irwin
pitched an excellent game, striking out
fourteen men, and showing good head
work, and GOODNESS at critical points, all
through. 1t was only Wheeling's proven
bal hard luck that prevented them from
tieing the score in the ninth, as Smith and
Crogan drove long hits into left and centre
respectively, which unfortunately went
directly into the fielder's hands.
The result Of the game was great sur
prise to those who witnessed that of the
day before, as everybody thought the home
team would win three straight games, judg-
ing from the loose work Of the Akrons the
day before, but base ball Is uncertain bust
ness, and the crushed in one game may be-
come the victors in the next. The man
agement will put the following nine into
the field to-day: Crogan, L.; Dunn, R.;
Westlake, 2; Speidel, l.; Moffat, 3; Smith,
p; Steel, S.; Bailey, c.; Ellif, NJ. This
will be a great improvement on yesterday,
and a good game may be expected. Fol-
lowing is full score Of yesterday

James H. Dunlap Drowned Yesterday
Afternoon.

James H. Dunlap Drowned Yesterday
Afternoon.
About half-past two o'clock yesterday
afternoon, James H. Dunlap, a well-known
citizen of North Wheeling, and brother
of Officer Dunlap, was drowned in the
river, near the foot of Seventh street. Mr..
Dunlap, with one or two other men, was
engaged in unloading railroad ties from
one of half-a-dozen flat-boats lying along
the bank above the Water-works, he being
employed on the job by foreman W.
NJ. Williams. About the hour named,
Mr.. Dunlap was standing near the centre
of loaded fat, next the outside gunwale
of the boat, when he was suddenly seized
with fit, to which he was subject. Pow
erless to save himself, and unobserved for
the moment by anyone, he lost his balance
and fell headloug into the water.
Said Foreman Williams to a reporter
81 had stick about eight feet long in
my hand, and had just stopped down to
mark tie, when l heard the splash.
Quickly looking up, missed Dunlap,
and glancing at the water outside
the barge, / saw him, but q few
feet away, floating with his head under
water. l reached out and put one end o.
my stick in his hand, at the same time
calling loudly to hiIn to catch hold OF it
and would draw him in, but he seemed
incapable of making any exertion, and
soon sank. ran along the barge, hoping
to see him come 10 the surface, so l could
Jump for him, but he did not again ap-
pear until he was just passing the outside
lower end of one of the last barges,
when l saw one arm and about half
his head protrude above the water for an
instant That was the last we saw of him,
and he must have passed under barge
little lower down and then sank for good.
Mr.. Dunlap had similar fit yesterday,
but we thought nothing of it, knowing him
to be subject to them"
Officer Dunlap, brother of the drowned
man, was at once notified, aud fastened to
the scene, and soon dozen willing hands
were at work dragging the bed Of the river
with hooks in the hope of finding the body. A
sein about one hundred feet long was later
pressed into service, and the river dragged
as far down as the suspension bridge, hut
up to dusk the result had been unsuccess-
full.
Mr.. Dunlap lived at No. 405 Coal street,
and leaves a wife and three children.
